Our expat sites

We are proud to launch our new city guide for expatriates in Accra, Ghana.

Ghana is one of the only countries in West Africa that has a history
with little conflict and much democracy. As such, it has been a long
standing darling of foreign investors and humanitarian workers. With
good resources, good amenities and a decent national structure, the
country acts as a comfortable hub for West African activity.

Ghana is
one of Africa's most developed countries, and it consistently ranks high
on markers of peace, security, ease of doing business, media freedom
and governance - though of course, it is not without its challenges.

In 2007, the economy began to shift once more with the discovery of
oil reserves. Production of these reserves began in 2010, though there
are some concerns about the nation's and current government's ability to
properly manage it.

In 2013, after years of rapid national economic growth, Ghana's
economy began to slow. There was a large contraction in the
manufacturing sector, which has rippled out across the national economy.
The country faces challenges that result from large deficits, inflation
and currency depreciation.
